How to integrate Lever MCP with Hermes

Hermes is a 24/7 autonomous agent that lives on your computer or server — it remembers what it learns and evolves as your usage grows. This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Lever account to Hermes. You can do this through either Composio Connect CLI or Composio Connect MCP.

What is Composio Connect?

Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,000+ applications directly into their agent harness — including Hermes. It can:

  • Search and load tools from relevant toolkits on-demand, reducing context usage.
  • Chain multiple tools to accomplish complex workflows via a remote workbench, without excessive back-and-forth with the LLM.
  • Manage app authentication end-to-end with zero manual overhead.

Integrating Lever with Hermes

Using Composio Connect CLI

1. Install the Composio CLI

Run the install script directly, or paste https://composio.dev/hermes into your Hermes chat box to have it installed for you.

bash
curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash
Hermes authenticating with Composio

2. Authenticate

Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio.

3. Connect to Lever

Ask your agent to connect to Lever, or simply request any Lever-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Lever connection.


Using Composio Connect MCP

1. Get your MCP URL and API Key

Go to dashboard.composio.dev and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Lever or request any Lever-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Lever MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Lever MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Lever account. It provides structured and secure access to your recruiting pipeline, so your agent can perform actions like managing candidates, scheduling interviews, updating job postings, tracking offers, and analyzing hiring metrics on your behalf.

  • End-to-end candidate management: Let your agent add, update, or move candidates through different stages of your hiring process seamlessly.
  • Automated interview scheduling: Have the agent create, modify, or cancel interviews and coordinate with both candidates and interviewers to streamline the process.
  • Job posting and requisition updates: Direct your agent to create new job postings, update existing requisitions, or close filled roles instantly.
  • Offer and feedback tracking: Enable your agent to manage offer letters, track acceptance rates, and collect structured feedback from interviewers.
  • Recruiting analytics and reporting: Ask the agent to generate reports on pipeline activity, source effectiveness, and diversity metrics—helping you make data-driven hiring decisions.

Way Forward

With Lever connected, Hermes can now act on your behalf whenever it detects a relevant task or you ask it to.

From here, you can extend Hermes further:

  • Connect more apps: Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Hermes can do for you.
  • Build workflows across tools: Once multiple apps are connected, Hermes can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft.
  • Let it learn your patterns: The more you use Hermes, the better it gets at anticipating how you'd handle recurring tasks. Give it feedback on drafts and decisions, and it will adapt.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Lever MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Lever tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Lever and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Hermes fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Lever tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Lever scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Lever data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
